Cambridge University Spaceflight Landing Predictor (github)

A tool to predict the flight path and landing location of latex sounding balloons.

Written by Jon Sowman and Adam Greig for CUSF. Credit also to Rich Wareham for work on the predictor. Some parts of code taken from old landing prediction software, credit to Rob Anderson, Fergus Noble and Ed Moore.

Minor credit to Robert Harrison for integrating the NOTAM and airspace KML from www.notaminfo.com with kind permission from author David Massie.
